Do we have a soul?

Thoughts, ideas etc are non-organic in nature. You cannot touch a thought or an idea. In so far as the latest neuroscience goes they cannot be strongly mapped to the brain directly. In effect thoughts are non-physical even though they originate in a physical substrate such as the brain.

You might be interested in this OP An Immaterial Philosophy of Mind which is about this exact point. It is based on an argument from The Phaedo, which is principally concerned with Plato’s discussion of the soul.
